I have to admit; I hear of my friends being pregnant. I see people everyday who are pregnant. I work with pregnant people. It’s frustrating and annoying because sometimes I really miss that pregnant feeling. Sometimes I wish that was me.
Then I come flying back to reality and I’m thankful that it’s not. Because lets face it, my life is screwed up right now. It would be the best idea not to add another one to the mix. But there is that nagging feeling back in my head that I should have made one minuscule decision. And everything would be different. One fucking decision and I could feel like my life is going somewhere and not fucking dragging along the ground while I stumble around blindly to pick it up.
I’m tired, unhappy, exhausted and just feeling down. I’m tired of these terrible twos that have lasted since before he was 1. I’m tired of his too short of a temper and the fact that he never wants to go to sleep. I’m tired of the crankiness and tired of feeling like I just never get the break that I so crave. If I can have one single week of no tears, no temper tantrums and no sultry attitude, I would be in great shape. And then of course I ponder that decision I almost made but turned my back on when I imagined how things were going to be. When the promises were made to me and I pushed aside the thought that kept telling me that they were going to end up being broken promises.
Now that voice is telling me how badly I screwed up…..
And now that I’ve opened up my heart in the place I’ve tried to keep it under control, I’m going to go drink my sorrows away. Rum & Coke is good for that.

It isn’t easy for anyone Jess. There will always be crap to juggle, cranky kids, never ending lists of things you would rather not do but have to, doubts, second guessing and stress. That doesn’t mean you made a bad decision, it’s just life. No one is 100% confident all of the time, and no one has perfect kids or breezes through life like it’s a cakewalk. No one who earns anything for themselves anyways. I understand why you feel this way but keep your chin up, you are doing fantastic. Much better than I would have considering what you put up with living at home sometimes. One day it will be easier, but it will never be foolproof. It is harder on your own – I know. But you know it’s totally worth it.
Sky is lucky to have you.
And.. if he doesn’t stop with the tempers him and Tobey can take a long walk off a short plank together because I can totally sympathize with that!
